Establishment of a public antiretroviral treatment clinic for adults in urban Botswana: lessons learned

C William Wester et al. Clin Infect Dis. .

Abstract

Countries in sub-Saharan Africa are under significant pressure to open large-scale, public antiretroviral treatment clinics. Many lessons have been learned in Botswana, where the first public antiretroviral treatment clinic in Africa was established. The availability of core, well-trained medical staff will be the primary factor that limits a rapid scale-up of antiretroviral treatment programs.
